You got your wish. Health insurers are the biggest beneficiary of that, followed by pharmaceutical companies. By any definition, the health insurers are "well fixed" for the forseeable future.
However, what is good for health insurers doesn't solve the biggest problems with health care in the USA - cost and access.
Maybe if our darned politicians (ALL of them, not just Dems and not just GOP) would get off their idiotic soap boxes and actually do their jobs - REPRESENT CITIZENS, NOT BIG BUSINESS - we'd have gotten a real health reform law.
And now I will step off my soap box.
